For the walkers of Charlotte a new event has emerged this year bearing the name of LeRoy T. Walker. Registration and packet pickup begin at 7:00AM and the walk commences from the Carolina Panthers Stadium practice field at 8:00AM

The LeRoy T. Walker 5K Fun/ Walk A Thon is a new event for the UNCF, Charlotte Region office. The event is developed to help keep the Charlotte community informed about the tremendous effort of UNCF to support its 39 member institutions while also generating resources for the school. Purposefully planned for the weekend of the CIAA Tournament, the Walk A Thon will draw participants from the Charlotte community as well as alumni and students in town to attend the basketball tournament. Six of the twelve CIAA universities are UNCF member institutions; Livingstone College, Shaw University, St. Augustine’s College, St. Paul’s College, Johnson C. Smith University and Virginia Union University.

The Walk A Thon will commence at Bank of America Stadium-Panthers Practice facility beginning at 8:00 am on March 1, 2008. The Walk A Thon course will be the Irwin Creek and Stewart Creek Greenway through Seversville Park and Frazier Park located in Historic Third Ward. The course provides a scenic view of Uptown Charlotte and is just east of Johnson C. Smith’s campus.
